Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1050846A2] The present invention relates to a method for displaying on a screen (202) of a mobile device (200) an image requested from a server device, the image having dimensions much larger than the dimension of the screen. In accordance with a set of parameters about the screen of the mobile device, the requested image is transformed to a reduced version that fits well into the screen. The reduced version is inherently divided into a number of subareas, each embedded with a link to a detailed version thereof which is associated with one of the keys in a keypad (206) of the mobile device. By activation of a key, a user selects a subarea and a new request including the link is sent to the server device which then sends out the detailed version. <IMAGE>
